Nice tractor, I sure like my E series. One thing.. before you go jamming that puppy into too much heavy brush, you might consider building something like this. Bottom mounting holes are already there, you only have to drill two small holes in the top of the (wide open) factory guard. Lots cheaper than replacing that nice new grille.
